    Is this an 8 over 8 I thought the last 8 looked weird how thick it is on the right side of the 8 IMG_20140918_171542444~2.jpg IMG_20140918_180702179_HDR~2.jpg

    its not the 8 over 7, but that last 8 does look cool, looks like someone at the mint took a punch to that last 8, and punch it 2 or 3 times

    I can't match it to anything in my Snow book but he is showing 33 varieties for this date and my book is a bit old. If you have a date image that's in better focus, I'll check again.

    I did notice that the last 8 doesn't touch in the middle. I took my digital microscope apart and put the tip of it on my phone to get those last couple pics

    I'm not seeing anything that makes me think 88/88.

    How could anyone tell from the photos if it wasn't slabbed?

    Here is my suspected 1888 S-2 RPD-02. It has the characteristic marks within the upper loops of the 8's as well as the misplaced '1' coming our of the front pearl. Had it for a long time, just haven't sent it away, as it is not totally agreed as a RPD by IHC experts/.
